This class will not only give you the tools to craft spellbinding scenes, but also help you decide when a scene is needed and when a summary will suffice. We’ll analyze excerpts from iconic works, identifying the stakes, the seeds of conflict tucked inside a well-crafted exchange, as well as the sensory descriptions that amplify a scene’s mood and atmosphere.Participants will generate new scenes or revise existing scenes with an eye toward the following:Scene Structure: Identifying the goal, conflict and stakes of your scene.Dialogue &amp; Subtext: Crafting dialogue that reveals character, advances the plot, and deepens conflict.Emotion &amp; Sensory Detail: Using sensory description to make vivid settings that amplify tension, atmosphere, and mood.Through a combination of writing exercises and readings, participants will develop a deeper understanding of scene construction and how to infuse their writing with detail, tension, and purpose. This class is for beginning and experienced writers alike.While we’ll draw largely on published fictions for inspiration, this course welcomes writers of all genres who wish to enhance their scene-writing skills.About the teacher:Jessica Alexander has taught creative writing workshops at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Franklin and Marshall College, Porchlight Literary Arts Center, The Fairweather Project, and The Iowa Summer Writing Festival, among other places.
